I’ve been having issues with my PC not waking from sleep, the fan keeps spinning, but the screen stays black, and it won’t respond. I could just keep it on all the time, but it uses a lot of electricity, so I prefer not to.

So far I’ve tried:

  • Using Wayland / X11
  • Secure boot off/on
  • Installing the latest BIOS update
  • Waking with keyboard presses, mouse movement, power button

Some more information:

  • Sleeps works fine on Windows.
  • I’m using an AMD CPU & GPU
  • I’m using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and I’m fully up-to-date (version 20240919).
  • I’m using kernel 6.10.9-1-default (64-bit)
  • I have a swap partition with the same size as my memory

    Not sure if you still encounter the issue, but I finally did some trial and error.

    It doesn’t seem to be related to the AMD GPU, as I briefly swapped it out for an Intel Arc A750 and had the same issue. I then went ahead and tried disabling most onboard devices of my mainboard (ASUS ROG Strix B650E-E) and sure enough: that fixed it. I then re-enabled them one by one, trying waking the PC from sleep each time and narrowed it down to the on-board Bluetooth.

    Do you happen to have a mainboard that has the “MediaTek MT7922A” (or AMD rebranded variant “AMD RZ616”) Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card? If so, try disabling the Bluetooth portion of it in the BIOS.

      My motherboard (AMD B550) doesn’t seem to have built in Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. It has a Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822CE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter.
